JCG posted:Sounds like your son plays travel ball in the summer and has done PG events. Also sounds like he's a junior? Is he getting attention from colleges? Does he want to play in college and at what level?
High School = school spirit, camaraderie, memories, Friendships and teamwork
Summer Ball = Competition and Expsoure (and some of the above)
If your goal is to play at the next level you need to get it done over the summer. Play at the highest level against top national players in front of college and pro scouts.
Nobody at the next level cares about how you did during school ball....in my son's experience his high school stats/career never came up while being recruited.
His high school career had ups and downs, but that is the nature of the beast...talent always doesn't play at that level...but it doesn't matter if your goal is next level...if college is the goal......summer matters.
High School ball is a place to learn how to be a part of a team, be the best teammate you can be, hopefully win some games and make some memories and friendships....its not a place to point fingers and look for scape goats.
Summer Ball will ultimately determine how good a player is.
